When Yang-shan Hui-chi (807-883), as a young monk, paid a visit to the Ch'an master Hsing-k'ung, there was a monk who asked Hsing-k'ung:
-What is the meaning of the Patriarch's coming from the West?
Hsing-k'ung replied:

Third eye meditation has alerted the interest of many people these
days more so teenagers and a couple of college students. Third eye
meditation is simple and easy to understand. Just above your nose and in
between your eyes, and beneath your forehead is a spot that is normally
referred to as the “third eye”. The third eye corresponds to Ajna
chakra in both yoga and tantra terms. In third eye meditation, one
concentrates on that spot with a concentrated-visualization. With time,
it opens up and you start seeing supernatural things that are usually
black and white. The third eye meditation helps you to attain that
meditative state instantly and automatically. It also helps to stimulate
your intuitive and psychological-power by inducing powerful
mental-images that are unperceived by other senses such as sight or
smell.

The visualization performed on the spot is normally a picture of a
silver flame, a white moon, a shining star, or an auspicious
silver-figure. It can also be a letter of the Jewish-alphabet, but
whatever the auspicious is, it will surely serve as a
stable-concentration! If someone tries to concentrate on a single item
and then focus their thoughts on a specific place without any form of
disturbance, then they can reach a stopping stage, this is the basis of
the entrance to samadhi! With this in mind, how then can you do the
third eye meditation? The following is a step by step guide on how to go
about doing the practice correctly.

First, sit down with your legs crossed or the lotus position while
keeping your back straight. You can learn more meditation postures so as
to find the perfect posture to sit upright. Then close your eyes,
breath in deeply to fill your lungs with cool fresh air. Next, pause for
a few seconds and breath out slowly, do this process three times.

Secondly, shift your focus completely towards the third eye or the
Ajna Chakra. Then keep eyes closed , draw your closed eyes closer to the
center of your forehead, this is simply trying to look up with your
eyes closed.

Maintain focus on the Ajna Chakra and then start counting backward
from say 100 to 0. Throughout the third eye mediation, your eyes should
be closed and centered towards the Ajna Chakra.

Keep this position for almost 15 minutes and then slowly bring the
eyes back to the normal position. At this stage, you should feel stress
while releasing your eyes. Let your eyes regain normal movement and keep
them loose and free.

At this stage, take a deep breath for 3 to 5 minutes till your focus
shifts from the third eye and the eyes start regaining their normal
feeling. Imagine that your eye is getting a stimulation and opening up
slowly, feel your psychic-powers rising and rising!

The last step is simply a mindfulness exercise. It involves you opening your eyes gently. Be calm for a few minutes, and enjoy the relaxation sate of the mind.

Most people have felt the effects of this mindfulness exercise with
an increase in intuitive or psychic-powers. This is however not
surprising given the fact that the third eye is a link between
subconscious and conscious mind.
